Hack(H)er413 Applications Due!

Hack(H)er413 is the first all-women (cis and trans) and non-binary supporting student hackathon in Western Massachusetts, hosted hybridly at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst from February 5th to 6th.

Hack(H)er413 is a free event that encourages participants to learn new technical skills, network with companies, and build something that they are passionate about over the course of 24-hours. This year, Hack(H)er413 will be hybrid, allowing students from outside of Amherst to participate online! Although we want to see everyone’s faces at the hackathon, unfortunately, due to current restrictions, students outside of the university can only attend virtually.

Students can apply at hackher413.com. Applications are closing on January 31st, but we’re still currently accepting new students on a rolling basis.
